Stella McCartney Zitate auf Englisch

Zitat des Tages von Stella McCartney:

It's more expensive for me to make my shoes. I don't use animal-based glues or fish-based glues. So that costs me more. And, you know, like anything in life - mass marketing of anything - mass manufacturing of anything costs less.

I was brought up to understand that we are all here on planet earth together.

Stella McCartney

It's not realistic to live in the country at this stage. I've got a business in London. I beat myself up about it all the time.

Stella McCartney

To work on the competition wear for the Olympics is kind of insane. As a fashion designer, you don't think to yourself, 'I'm going to get the opportunity to work with athletes at that level at the Olympic Games.' It really is such an incredible thing to have any kind of contact with as a designer.

Stella McCartney

We try to make earth-friendly decisions whenever we can, as it's part of our brand DNA.

Stella McCartney

If you try to create something people enjoy, and it happens to be made in a responsible way, then that's when you can really strike an incredible balance.

Stella McCartney

You feel like everyone hates you if you've got a good life, now I feel maybe it's allowed because I've had my share of sadness.

Stella McCartney

I don't know, maybe I'm overly paranoid that they're going to be spoiled, but I want to keep them going as kids for as long as I can. I want to keep them innocent and free.

Stella McCartney

My job is to make desirable, luxurious, beautiful clothing and accessories women want to buy. My first decision is always based on, 'Can I do this in a more sustainable way without sacrificing design?' If I can, then there is no reason not to.

Stella McCartney

It's one of my biggest internal struggles - the whole schooling system in London and the fact that my kids are going to a posh school. It freaks me out.

Stella McCartney

When I first started, it was a dirty word to say you made clothes for people to wear... I was a little ashamed of it. You didn't always feel you were this amazing creative force.

Stella McCartney

Sometimes I wish I were less sensible.

Stella McCartney

It's more expensive for me to make my shoes. I don't use animal-based glues or fish-based glues. So that costs me more. And, you know, like anything in life - mass marketing of anything - mass manufacturing of anything costs less.

Stella McCartney

At times I make music, but in private.

Stella McCartney

For me, singing is the most natural thing in the world. I've grown up with it and I know I've got that gift.

Stella McCartney

Depending on the season, between 20 and 30 percent of my collections contain some sort of eco or sustainable element, whether it's a beautiful organic fabric or a natural dye. And obviously I don't use animal skins or fur of any kind.

Stella McCartney

I think the moment that I'm very proud of is building a business without using animals. And, hopefully, changing people's perception of how you can do luxury fashion.

Stella McCartney

I used to get embarrassed about the fact I liked fashion. I still get a bit cringy.

Stella McCartney

I've had people say to me, 'You'll never sell handbags. You don't work with leather, and leather is luxury.' To me, it's the complete opposite: leather is everywhere - it's so cheap a material; it's so mass produced. Over 50 million animals a year are killed just for fashion. For me, it doesn't have a luxury element to it.

Stella McCartney

I am a fashion designer. I'm not an environmentalist. When I get up in the morning, number one I'm a mother and a wife, and number two I design clothes. So the main thing I need to do is create, hopefully, exquisitely beautiful, desirable objects for my customer.

Stella McCartney

Modern fake fur looks so much like real fur that the moment it leaves the atelier, no one can tell it's not the real thing. And I've struggled with that.

Stella McCartney

When I was younger, I always assumed that when I grew up, I would be living in the country, and my kids would be going to a state school. But that's not how things have turned out. I can't see myself being able to leave London.

Stella McCartney

The beliefs I was raised with - to respect animals and to be aware of nature, to understand that we share this planet with other creatures - have had a huge impact on me.

Stella McCartney

If people stop liking my clothes, I'll make a record.

Stella McCartney

We have captured a luxury and richness with our fur-free fur, which is proof to the fashion industry that killing animals for the sake of fashion is unnecessary.

Stella McCartney

Everyone can do simple things to make a difference, and every little bit really does count.

Stella McCartney

My biggest surprises in my everyday job have to do with the challenges of trying to be slightly more responsible as a brand.

Stella McCartney

I think deep down I'm spiritual, but there's nothing I practice.

Stella McCartney

I think my differences were, and my differences still are, that I don't really approach fashion in a fashiony way.

Stella McCartney

I ride my bike, I work out, I do a bit of, er, dancey things.

Stella McCartney

Growing up, I was always really inspired by Disney, and I had a great love of everything they created. My mum was huge fan, and she used to collect stills, and so they were all around the house, and we very much grew up on the early Disney films.

Stella McCartney

I confess to being a frustrated musician.

Stella McCartney

I love that you can have the language between the two worlds of technology and fashion, because I don't think that many designers get to do that.

Stella McCartney

More than anything I want to be fit so I don't get out of breath when I play football with the kids.

Stella McCartney

We always had our own vegetables growing up and now I'm doing it with my kids at our house in the country.

Stella McCartney

I didn't want to be thirtysomething and not know what I was going to do. I was quite afraid of that, there were quite a lot of aimless kids around, in that 'other' side of my life, who didn't really know what to do because they always had a bank balance to fall back on and they were quite lost.

Stella McCartney

Losing my mum. That was a punch-me moment.
